The Hinge Characterization STE mounts to an
alignment stand and translates a Mechanical Attachment Clamp using
a linear actuator. A Position transducer measures the position of
the clamp and a Load Transducer measures the force required to
move the clamp. The STE includes a computer system that controls
the linear actuator and records position and force data as ordered
pairs. A calibration fixture is included that allows the position
and force transducers to be calibrated.
